<P>I've pitched the option of 'AOD whilst on charge' idea as a Suggestion for our R&amp;D team - and will let peeps know of the feedback we get from them.&nbsp;</P>Thu, 20 Dec 2018 13:35:01 GMTAntS2018-12-20T13:35:01ZAoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/729416#M7550
<P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch (46mm LTE). Every night I put the watch onto the&nbsp;charger which is placed on my bedside table. Even If I switch on AoD the watch turns black after a few seconds.</P><P>My question now is there any way to keep the display on all night if the watch is charging?</P><P>I want to use the watch as small night clock&nbsp;with digital numbers (brightness very low) - how can I get that?<BR /><BR />Thanks for any help!</P>Fri, 26 Oct 2018 14:08:49 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/729416#M7550Mr_Burns2018-10-26T14:08:49ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/729451#M7551
<LI-USER uid="1274945"></LI-USER>: When certain features are active on the watch the Always On display is automatically deactivated. With this in mind please go to your Quick Panel and ensure that the following modes are disabled when you dock the watch at night: Theatre, Water Lock and Goodnight. Double check that Always On is active by opening your Quick Panel and tapping the clock symbol or go to Settings &gt; Watch Faces &gt; Watch Always On and you should be good to go.Fri, 26 Oct 2018 14:23:50 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/729451#M7551AndrewL2018-10-26T14:23:50ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/729541#M7552
<P>Hi AndrewL,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>thanks for reply, but I never turned on&nbsp;<SPAN>Theatre, Water Lock and Goodnight. I checked again that these modes are really off.

<LI-USER uid="1274945"></LI-USER><BR /><BR />I've had a look into this for you and can see that the Always On feature only seems to work when you are wearing the watch and the screen will still timeout when it is left inactive or on charge. At this time it isn't possible to leave the screen on while it is docked therefore I would recommend docking the device so the Back Key/Home Key are accessible and you can simply tap either button to wake up the display. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.Fri, 26 Oct 2018 16:30:47 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/729575#M7553AndrewL2018-10-26T16:30:47ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/817911#M7554

<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Seems that our developers liked this one – and&nbsp;probably will implement it in the future.

<P>this is a MUST.... what is the point of a watch, if you have to take it off everynight to charge it, and it does not tell you the time by just glancing at it on your bedside table!!!</P>Tue, 25 Dec 2018 11:15:10 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/825850#M7557whyneedaname2018-12-25T11:15:10ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/833109#M7558
<P>I have a few days left until I can't return the watch. I want to like it but small features like this are quite ridiculous that they aren't on here by default. On top of that, watch features like timers, intervals, etc are left up to shoddy developers. Why is it so hard to do simple features that are no brainiers??!</P>Sun, 30 Dec 2018 05:50:36 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/833109#M7558Andrice72018-12-30T05:50:36ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/837870#M7559
<P>Lol it's a watch not an alarm clock. Good luck with your Timex. I'm sure their forums will perfectly stimulate your intellect.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>PS Larryn, you said try doing that at 3am. Why do you need to press the button to see the time if you already know it's 3am?&nbsp;</P>Wed, 02 Jan 2019 12:12:54 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/837870#M7559Sh1fty_692019-01-02T12:12:54ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/842179#M7560
<P>My 42mm behaves rather differently. The AoD goes off when charging, as described, but then when fully charged and the charger light changes colour, the AoD comes on. However, unbelievably, it does not recognise the horizontal orientation of the watch in the charger dock and so the face is on its side. Touching a button switches the watch face to full brightness and spins it through 90 degrees, briefly, and once the display dims again it also spins back -90 degrees.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>All this sounds like a very easy fix for the next software release please.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P>Fri, 04 Jan 2019 09:33:00 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/842179#M7560MrGussy2019-01-04T09:33:00ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/856733#M7561
<P>@Sh1fty_69</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You're not very smart. It's a figure of speech for meaning "in the middle of the night". He didn't literally mean 3am. And this is a smart watch...it has an alarm clock on it. Samsung designed the charger and the watch so the image rotates when plugged in to make it easier to see when in bed, but it turns off. That's ridiculous.</P>Fri, 11 Jan 2019 07:19:20 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/856733#M7561Air_Bear2019-01-11T07:19:20ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/856737#M7562

<P>Hahaha I'm not very smart? You must be the life of any party. Although you clearly do not recognise sarcasm or wit of any form. All I hear is whinge whinge whinge. Why doesn't the smallest gadget on my night stand do EVERYTHING? There is a reason why alarm clocks exist, why cameras exist, etc etc. Smart phones are able to do these things to a certain level, just like smart watches are able to do things to a certain level. I have no complaints about my smart watch or my smart phone. Both are Samsung and both do what I want them to. I think people are asking for ridiculous things but that is clearly just my opinion which I am entitled to just like everyone else.</P>Sun, 13 Jan 2019 01:21:29 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/860056#M7563Sh1fty_692019-01-13T01:21:29ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/874693#M7564
<P>I loved this feature on my apple watch. Since moving back to samsung/android I was very egar to get the galaxy watch but have been disappointed to say the least when comparing with my apple watch. Small details like the nightstand clock mode not being available is a let down, the apps on the play store are third world compared to the likes of the apple store. I feel that whilst Samsung are advancing in the world of mobile technology and advances, I think it's time the smart watches catch up also.</P>Sun, 20 Jan 2019 18:25:09 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/874693#M7564Natalya142019-01-20T18:25:09ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/874948#M7565
<P>Update ... further to my post a couple of weeks ago my watch has changed its behaviour: the AoD no longer comes on when on the charger. I have no idea what has changed, or whether it was just a particular face I was using which behaved this way. Now the display is permanantly off when on charge, which is very disappointing.</P>Sun, 20 Jan 2019 22:08:25 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/874948#M7565MrGussy2019-01-20T22:08:25ZRe: AoD if Galaxy watch is placed on charger?https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/876820#M7566

<P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I have found an app called I am alive. If you download this to the watch then switch it on you can charge your watch with the screen staying on.

This would be a great feature to add. If it could also let you choose the watch face for this, different from the regular one you use, it would be even better. (I.e. have a digital one for alarm clock, and an analog one for your regular one)<BR />How do we know when this feature is added?Sun, 24 Mar 2019 14:27:21 GMThttps://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearables/AoD-if-Galaxy-watch-is-placed-on-charger/m-p/1026006#M7569Alejandro292019-03-24T14:27:21Z
